A single digit D loss would still be an extraordinary shot to the House GOP, KS-4 is one of the redder districts(Cook has it R+15, 74th reddest), there are a lot of people who can't swing a -20 from 2016.

My guess is R's win a close one here, but will be panicking over GA next week. There is going to be a ton of R money poured into that race, not that there hasn't already been.

Yeah. Spicer being competent means minimizing and normalizing the things the Trump administration is doing.

It is definitely going to be single digits. Probably low single digits.

Look at the two counties 100% in - Pawnee 44/18 vs. 117/18 in 2016 for Price; Comanche 282/90 vs. 686/88. So D's vote total about the same, while R vote total about 40% in both counties. Apply that to total 2016 results and you get a D victory.

Of course it's the two smallest counties, but given that the results in both are consistent, it's a good sign.
If that holds, I think it'll be reeeeallly close.

they're gonna replace him with, literally, a 13-year-old republican party campaign volunteer from a small town somewhere, daring the media to come after her

One more county (Kiowa) 100% in and the trend continues - 421/90 vs. 824/80. Look like voters in strong R districts just not showing up. Off course the trend in Wichita could be complete different than in the tiny counties.

Well, Pompeo won Sedgwick County (and every county)... He won it 104.5K to 60.6K, so by a wide margin. Thompson (D) is up 17.1K to 11.3K right now, but only 2 of 257 precincts in the county are reporting.

He's also up in Harvey County 1,700 to 1,248 (57%-42%) with 7 of 38 precincts reporting. Pompeo won that one 9K-4.4K.

Even if the first comment was an oops, how can you justify the two attempts to explain it?

the real nazis in the white house are trying to walk a fine line between their true political ideology and the facade they try to keep up to provide plausible deniability to people that might be paying attention to what they're doing and saying.

A decent sized county (Cowley) finally fully reported:

3,179/2,422 vs. 7,711/2,784. So 41%/87%. If those percents apply to entire 2016 voting, you'd have essentially a tie.

Estes now slightly past Thompson with a bunch of rural counties in, looking like Estes will pull this out but it will be a squeaker
04-11-2017 , 09:49 PM
It's pretty much over. R is going to win, but they should be terrified of next week.

The main twitters I follow during this sort of thing, any others I'm missing for future elections?

Yeah there are two rural counties that haven't reported at all and Thompson has been losing his margin in Sedgwick as election day votes come in, but still, DCCC absolutely ****ing dropped the ball here
04-11-2017 , 09:54 PM
54% of vote in, Estes up 1k votes/1.5%

2-4pt Dem loss would be a nice moral victory, I suppose

Really? Only 66 of 257 precincts in wichita have reported whereas most of rural has come in. I don't know jack about Wichita or Kansas, but doesn't htat bode well for the dem given that it's currently a one point race?
